WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
“Odense, Denmark. Haven’t heard of it? You will. With Thinkers50 Europe now headquartered there, it’s about to become the Davos of business ideas.”
Whitney JohnsonHarvard Business SchoolAuthor of “Disrupt Yourself”
Let’s face it: Europe is challenged by game changer companies and new disruptive thinking. So where do we go? For European companies and business leaders, the Thinkers50 European Business Forum offers a two-day shortcut to the latest business and management theories, which will help you keep up to speed.
We bring the best business professors from top business schools such as Harvard, INSEAD and IMD to one spot, so you can learn from them all at the same time.
We also bring in some of the world’s most successful business leaders, who share practical advice on how to navigate the challenges of today. Together they explore the big issues and best ideas in business to inspire winning leadership and new directions for strategy, innovation and growth.
The forum takes place in an exclusive setting in The City of Odense, Denmark, and there are only 500 seats available. It’s broad enough to expand your international executive network, and intimate enough to ensure direct conversations and workshops with top business thinkers and managers. The European Business Forum will prepare you for the future, and ensure that you stay ahead of competition.
WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND

The purpose of Thinkers50 is to scan, rank and share the world’s best manage-ment ideas. Business leaders struggle to find all the best new ideas in one place, and to know which ones will have most impact on their business. Founded by two journalists, Stuart Crainer and Des Dearlove in 2001, Thinkers50 supports business through a global program of curation, including partnerships with leading publications such as Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, Forbes and Harvard Business Review. Every two years, the best thinkers are recognized in a global gala which is often described as “the Oscars of Business Thinking”.
The organization has become increasingly global with partnerships on each continent, developed to source and share the best ideas as they emerge in every corner of the world. In Europe, Thinkers50 partners with the City of Odense, bringing Europe’s business leaders together with the world’s top thinkers in a program of stretching, practical and inspiring activities. Thinkers50 believes that better ideas can inspire business to have a more positive impact on the world.
WHY WE SHARE IDEAS

Making better choices is the theme of this year’s forum.
Business leaders face more choices than ever before – there are few limits to the ways a business can grow – any geographical market, any industrial sector, any business model – enabled by technology, partners, people and investment. In fact, in a world of infinite possibilities, the hardest part is often deciding what not to do – to make choices.
In the “fourth industrial revolution” it is the new generation of technologies – from dig-ital networks and blockchain, to robotics and artificial intelligence, 3d printing and biotechnologies – that challenge business leaders to rethink what matters, how to em-brace the new capabilities, and what cre-ates sustained economic value.
Yet another challenge – how the business exists within society, and the value it adds to people, local communities and social pro-gress – might have just as much impact on a business’ future success. What is fair, what is good, what is progress, have become huge questions – particularly for business leaders.
At the previous forum, Europe’s business leaders said “Fast change has left business out of touch with people. Leaders are com-placent, and innovation is wasted.”
Collectively we asked ourselves how can European business rediscover its place in the world. There was a strong and over-whelming message from participants: “Business should be a force for positive progress.” This year we build on your agenda.
“Making Better Choices” is about connect-ing these challenges and new opportunities – exploring how business leaders can most effectively apply these new technologies for more impact, for both people and profit.
